nope they are 4 partitions i double checked that
also i cant delete partitions from the disk
keep saying that dynamic volumes are not supported

Gilbert,

When you boot from the bootable CD version, you would need to select and delete (Do not format) all of your dynamic volumes/partitions, then pick up at step 8 in the tutorial to use the Partition Recovery Wizard to restore the deleted partitions back to basic with data.

whatever i do it says not supported(even delete volumes/partitions) in partition wizard master home edition
did i download the wrong version? there's only 1 bootable cd
i would've upload the photos but my cam was out of battery
EDIT: aren't there any other discs that can help me get back to basic?
or something like hxd changing 42 to 07?

any operation related to the dynamic disc or the volumes on it give me the unsupported error
anyway:

i just finished restarting with the hd BASIC!!
that was awesome
i just opened hxd, changed all 42's to 07's from 1c0 and it worked like a charm!
i found it WAYYYY more convenient than all those software
anyways thanks for the help and support i was given by all the members in this forum
i suggest making the tutorial more precise on what to do in cases like mine(1hd with os on it, no data loss) and adding the hexadecimal trick to it only for experts and people who know what they're doing
